This is for anyone that has tmobile and has wanted to use the internet, but doesn't want to fork over $20 to get the "unlimited plan".First, add the $5.99 Tmobile web to your service plan(may take up to 24hours to apply). Then:(note, these instructions are directly for the Tmobile Dash, but the settings are the same on all phones for the hack to work):
In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data: Tmobile Data
Connects to: Wap Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
AND add another GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy
First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy2
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC
To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet
To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)
Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isnt available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)
To get IE working:
(In IE)Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network
I've done this on my dash and its working great. I'm not restricted to tmobiles stupid internal website.
I'm currently testing to see if I can send text messages over the GPRS at no cost. If so this will allow me to eliminate my additional text message plan. This will offset the $5.99 for the internet.
Tmobile once locked this workaround down, but within a week they received so many complaints that they decided to open it back up. $5.99 extra is better then losing customers, right?
Let me know if you need any assistance and i'll do my best to help you out.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Cesare Beccaria, 1767 (Later quoted by Thomas Jefferson)
